Discover a little-known island surrounded by
the picturesque charm of the Aegean Sea.

A small island in the Aegean Sea with 1800 inhabitants, which, according to Greek mythology, Ulysses was attracted like a magnet by Goddess Kirki. It is known to be the place with the 2nd highest terrestrial magnetism in the world. Every year it attracts yoga, health, wellness and diving enthusiasts, which are drawn by the island’s strong revitalizing energy, the abundance of therapeutic herbs and the breathtaking views, which make the Amorgos Island a perfect place for physical and spiritual rejuvenation.

Dive into the crystal clear waters of Amorgos

with a visibility of more than 30 meters deep.

Amorgos offers iconic diving spots, many of which will be the basis for our creative adventure. Our research for the best water playground brought us to the island where the movie “The Big Blue” was filmed. This trip is an invitation to an aquatic and self-discovery adventure, through a unique combination of nature, diving and aquatic dancing experiences that will make it the trip of a lifetime.

Live an authentic experience in the water with practices of deep ecology.

Oceans and Flow is a journey of transformation for those who seek better self-knowledge through the water and its creative and healing power, developing body awareness and sensitive listening. A fun way to embrace the world and to experience a healthy and happy lifestyle while in touch with your deepest dreams.
